As I see it this commercial makes two very clear statements for potential customers.
Either 1.) you are in the right place at the right time; in which case you are gifted a droid or 2.) you are in the wrong place at the wrong time and the droid comet takes your head off, kills your horse or sinks your boat.

When I saw this commercial on television I thought it was an anti-terrorism campaign for some political group.

It was kind of odd that it turned out to be a phone commercial.

After reading some of the posts, it's amazing to me that people who are smart enough to use the phones aren't smart enough to get the point of the ad!

I guess the other 900,000 Droids that didn't sell were the ones strategically dropped in the ocean?

You don't need to sync.... when you plug it in, it pops up like a flash drive - just drag and drop -- NO SOFTWARE NEEDED!!!!

They don't even show the product. Remember the Lexus vs. Infinity war? Infinity never showed the product. They also never ended up selling vehicles. This hype-based marketing won't compete with savvy consumers who want sexy products, not sexy ads. The Droid won't ever sell nearly as well as iPhone.

Anyone who has young kids will immediately recognize this as a rip off of the very first episode of the ever popular Ben-10 where the Omnitrix is jettisoned from a space ship under attack. It lands in the woods, Ben Tenison walks over to the edge of the small crater, the device opens up and inside is the Omnitrix.

Ben 10 is Awesome!

The Droid is not nearly half as cool as the Omnitrix!

I know that the Droid is going to have multi-touch and its also going to have tethering capabilities (you can use it as an aircard for the internet)

Check them out because I know im getting excited about the Droid...that new commercial is really cool and I wonder if they are going to have like a 5 part series or something. I think that would be baller.

Just Plain BRILLIANT!!! The old cowboy at the end delivers the line perfectly and the Transformers like sound and red spark is a nice touch. ( as an iPhone user I'm happy finally someone seriously stepped up to keep apple on their toes ;-)

I'd buy it only if they PROMISED to stealth bomb it next to my boat.

WTH! So many spam comments! =/

I didn't like the commercial even. Makes no sense. On can't even get a clue if it's droid commercial or a movie trailer.

100 style- 0% applicable. This could have been more effective by positioning all the benefits of this phone with a little style mixed in. Benefits include: customizable, how it makes standalone GPS units obsolete, Apps (the rage), etc... I understand its a "buzz builder" but I think the fanboys and techies are already on board.... now it needs that majority of customers who need to know "why it is important to them" and "what it can do for them"... am I off base? It also should have ended with a CTA like "visit verizonwireless.com/Droid". In the age of share-bility every video should point "home". Regardless I will own this phone in Dec. :)

Dropping these things as shown doesn't exactly seem like the friendliest delivery method. I'd rather start things off with a new phone on a less confrontational basis.

It seems the detractors are missing the inherent symbolism in these ads where the phones are being dropped in remote areas. It has everything to do with the phone and the message Verizon is using versus AT&T

This reminds me of that car commercial in the super bowl a few years back with the pack of deer running through the forest. Remember that one? None-tech-savvy people aren't going to know what this commercial is advertising. I realize that those people aren't the market they're shooting for, but then why advertise on tv on all?

Building anticipation is great, but I think this strategy is not very effective. The majority of smart phones are hard to use for the average person, so why would you build more mystery in to it? (seriously?, an outdated cowboy stereotype saying 'what is thaaat?!' - seriously?) iPhone commercials are successful because they show you the ACTUAL usage of the phone and HOW EASY IT IS. I would not suggest they copy the execution of those spots, rather that they show the reality of how this phone works. Because in the long term, this mystery/high-tech strategy will fail.

I thought that hot new products are supposed to make you feel good? This just fills me with dread. I do not want the phone that I carry with me every waking minute to be associated with violence and destruction. What were they thinking?

Wonder how this will work in Iraq? Usually there are no phones in what gets dropped there.

The did license the name from Lucas, it's in the fine print on all their advertising.
